christianH Oz Referee wrote We were instructed to stop the game and give a warning to all players on the first occurance and then issue technical fouls for subsequent occurances. Hi guys, so that is when I don't know what to do after a succesful shot. Shall I stop the clock before the throw-in at the endline? And if the shot is not sucessful, unfortunately I will have to give a T straight away, causing a bit of commotion when the players and the coaches will all ask about my mother and relatives
Oz Referee why not? it is clearly unsportsmanlike behaviour, certainly against the spirit of fair competition. As a caoch of mine used to tell his players - how about you actually play defence?
Adam Oz Referee wrotewhy not? it is clearly unsportsmanlike behaviour, certainly against the spirit of fair competition. As a caoch of mine used to tell his players - how about you actually play defence? Maybe we have two different things in mind. I'm thinking of Christian's initial post here, where the defender is shouting "shot" to let his teammates know it's time to box out. We were always told to communicate on defense, and this was one way. You gonna call a T on a player for shouting "Help" when he gets beat?

christianH I am quite happy to overlook if a defender B5 who is away from the shooter A1 shouts 'shot' or 'help' even if this is done right at the time of shooting :eek:providing not too loudly and again the defender is not too close to the shooter... However what I see in the local league and some national division 3 games is a man-on-man defence when the defender B1 yells SHOAAAAAAAT in the face of the shooter A1 spiting that nice and warm slobber at the shooter's face right at the time of shooting. Would like to see your views guys.
derwil I don't think I'd ever call that on a defender. Obstructing the field of vision??? Now you can't put a hand in the face...Jeekies. The one I hate the most is the disconcertion of the dribbler/passer in mostly 7th/8th grade girls. Girls though....seems to always be girls for some reason. The defender runs up on the girl with the ball and starts screaming as loud as possible "BALL,BALL,BALL,BALL....". After about four or five trips down the floor I'm hoping the girl she's defending never touches the ball again.
christianH It is more like a SHO-O-O-O-OT an it is a long shout that way so the defender makes sure he doen't miss to be shouting exactly at the time of the shot.😃

ronald This is a quick reply to the ball, ball, ball, post. I wonder what this yelling in someone's ear has to do with fair play, sportsmanship. I do not remember if I ever called it or will call it if it happens this year (I do think it is unsporting) Ron

The idea is it's yelling to their teammates to communicate what's happening with the ball.
mick Snaqwells wroteHow is it unsporting? The idea is it's yelling to their teammates to communicate what's happening with the ball. Perhaps I am missing the picture of yelling in someone's ear. Seems to me that such action would put the player in close enough proximity to make a basketball play. If the player, that close, does not attempt a basketball play, then why is *yelling in an opponents ear* not unsporting ?
